Rookie Ackley shows instincts on basepaths

Everyone noticed Dustin Ackley scampering home from third on a wild pitch in the 10th inning to score the winning run in Sunday's 2-1 victory over the Marlins, but somewhat lost in the bizarre finish was how the rookie got in position to score in the first place. After doubling off Randy Choate to lead off the 10th, Ackley had the instincts and guts to tag up and take third on a fly ball to left-center by Miguel Olivo. (MLB.com)
